Pinehurst No. 5 might not officially fall under Donald Ross, but one of his proteges made sure that it signaled his work. Ellis Maples, well known in North Carolina for golf course design and construction, was responsible for designing No. 5 in 1961, simply following the land’s structure to bring out its beauty. The par-3 14th is one of the most picturesque holes on any Pinehurst property, and is called the Cathedral Hole due to it being fronted by a pond and surrounded by ancient pines, with tops that resemble an organ.
